Ret PVP Question

So I've been playing my mage for a while, and got tired of casting. So I'm getting back to my Ret Pally who is a max JC. For pvp, I'm trying to decide if I should stack the special strength or pvp power JC gems. You guys have any thoughts on which one is better?

Sorry for "hijacking" the thread but I believe this is a Ret PVP Question and instead of creating a new thread figured I could borrow this one.

Last night a guildie was PvP'ing with his mage. He reported that TWICE (with 2 different paladins) he Deep Froze them but they casted Hand of Freedom and got rid of the stun. Afterwards I dueled him to try such thing to notice that my Hand of Freedom did NOT remove it.

Those 2 pallies were either together and both ret and one or the other used hand of sacrifice to remove the buff. Or these pallies had a healer near by whom dispelled the debuff. Just tell him he was mistaken and didn't notice the other pallies reinforcements.
